Purple basil plant 
Hello to all and to all, in this opportunity I will teach you a practical way to obtain seed and in turn plant a basil plant of a purple species.
The plant that you will see in the photographs below, is an adult plant that has already completed its flowering process and has its seeds located where the flower dried. So we proceed to cut this dry section of the plant with a disinfected tool so as not to mistreat the mother plant.

Once the dried flower of the plant is cut, the dried flower begins to crumble; It is a very boring step but the success and perfect extraction of the basil seed depends on it

Once the basil seeds have been obtained, we are going to plant them; For this we will need a place to sow the basil seeds, since we will prepare a space to plant.
First of all we have to get a container, then we put it in the ground and we moisten it to later place solid Californian earthworm humus, this will help maintain moisture and add nutrients to the plants while they are growing.
